Caracas, Dec 4 - Diosdado Cabello, Secretary General of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), called the national far right stupid when speaking about the dialogue between Presidents Nicolás Maduro and Donald Trump, saying they act like soothsayers, it was revealed today here.
In his Wednesday night program Con el Mazo Dando, the political leader criticized the speculations of that fascist opposition sector who consider themselves experts and a few months ago dismissed any conversation between the two leaders.
“They are the same ones who a few months ago claimed that such a conversation would not be possible,” he emphasized.
“They said,” Cabello insisted, “Trump does not recognize Nicolás Maduro as president, so how could he call him?”
The member of the PSUV Political Bureau stated that the call did happen, and “now everyone is an expert on what they talked about, but no one was there, no one has the slightest idea,” he refuted.
In the political leader’s opinion, those who spoke about the phone call between the two heads of state are part of their own war and fantasy; “pure nonsense (lie), that is what the stupid opposition lives off,” he said.
Cabello asserted that President Nicolás Maduro has been very respectful and only Trump, when asked, said “we spoke.”
He estimated that what happened is part of the psychological warfare promoted by those right-wing sectors trying to break the spirit and fighting will of the Venezuelan people.
On his program, the PSUV Secretary General aired a segment of the previous day’s statements by the Venezuelan president, in which he revealed he spoke with his US counterpart.
During a workday in Petare, Miranda state, to supervise progress on consolidating the government in the “Simón Rodríguez” Commune, the leader revealed that he received a call and spoke with Trump, “in a tone of respect, even, I can say it was cordial.”
Maduro stressed that if this call “means steps are being taken toward respectful dialogue, state to state, country to country, welcome dialogue, diplomacy, because we will always seek peace.”
“Welcome to dialogue, diplomacy and peace,” exclaimed the leader in English amid applause from those present.
Referring to the American people and their youth, the leader expressed that they are tired of endless wars and “have marks on their collective psychology as a country” from conflicts in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya.
He emphasized that that people say massively “no more Afghanistan, no more Vietnam, no more Libya, and no more Iraq.”
